Hey everyone.
I've been lurking on this site awhile, but I finally decided to join today after finding a thread about viper boas. My name is Tracie, I'm a senior in an undergraduate veterinary program in mid-Ohio. After my graduate work I'm planning on getting a specialist's degree to work on herps with better authority. I'm currently in Cincinnati for the summer, but I return to Columbus in about 3 weeks.
I'm mama to a juvenile Ball (Ruby) approaching her 1st birthday, and an as-yet unnamed Viper or Solomon Island ground boa of unknown age. I'm guessing she's fairly mature, as she's about 3 feet currently. Aside from that, I have a rescued special need cat named Phoenix and a red-bellied piranha named Skrinkle. (For a vegetarian, I keep a lot animals that eat other animals for some reason.)
I don't watch TV, but I read voraciously and I'll listen to almost anything. Industrial music is my first love, but I have a soft spot in my heart for Johnny Cash. I swear too much, I sleep too little, and I really, really like hot pink.
